- In december 1886, a pipe organ was installed in the Temple Protestant in Verviers-Hodimont by Pierre Schyven. The organ has six ranks, with a stoplist of fifteen stops derived from these. The church building before was in use as a roman catholic parish church, dedicated to Saint-Antoine. The organ was restored somewhere around 1920 by Jules Anneessens.
- Because there were plans for the construction of a new viaduct, the church had to be demolished in 1976. Although the viaduct has never been realized, a new church was constructed on the Rue de la Grappe. The organ has been transferred to this new building by Stephan Schumacher. The new church was dedicated on June 2nd, 1985.
